OpenDeck — Narrated Animated Presentations

Build an HTML slide deck with in-slide step animations, hover tooltips, a thumbnail rail, fullscreen, and AI voice narration — including an in-page "Audio Studio" that generates the voiceover with ElevenLabs and can bake it into a fully offline file.

Use this skill when the user asks for: a presentation/deck/slides that animates step-by-step, a self-running or narrated presentation, a deck they can present and also export, anything describing "click through and it talks," or to package a deck as a portable .deck file for a compatible player app.

What you ship

The shippable kit lives in this skill's assets/ folder. A deck is a single deck file (starter-deck.html, or a .dc.html Design Component when building inside a Claude design project) plus five companion files (all copied into the same folder as the deck), and a zero-dependency bundler for offline export:

File	Role	You edit it?
`deck-stage.js`	Slide engine: auto-scaling, keyboard nav, thumbnail rail, speaker notes.	No — drop in as-is
`deck-enhance.js`	`data-step` reveals + step dots, `data-tip` tooltips, Fullscreen (`F`) & Slides (`S`) buttons, edit-mode guard.	No — drop in as-is
`narration-script.js`	The narration text, one line per slide/step.	Yes — this is where you write narration
`deck-narration.js`	Narrate + Auto-play controls (merged into the deck overlay) and the Audio Studio.	No — drop in as-is
`narration-audio.js`	Generated, not shipped. Holds the audio clips as base64 so narration plays offline. Created by the Studio's "Download audio".	No — produced by the user
`deck-export.js`	In-browser bundler: `deckExport.preview()` builds a single self-contained file that keeps the Studio; `deckExport.publish()` builds the final share-ready file (Studio removed, audio baked); `deckExport.deck()` wraps a published build as a portable `.deck` package. Plain browser JS — no build step.	No — drop in as-is
`build-standalone.mjs`	Headless bundler — the same job from disk with no browser/server: `node build-standalone.mjs [deck.html] [--preview]`. This is how you (the agent) bundle, anywhere the files sit together (the Claude web app code sandbox, a local checkout).	No — run it
`make-studio-link.mjs`	Prints a link to the hosted Audio Studio (`open-deck.org/studio`) with the deck's narration pre-loaded — for generating audio when the deck preview's CSP blocks ElevenLabs (the Claude web app). `node make-studio-link.mjs [narration-script.js]`.	No — run it

deck-animation.css is the required CSS for reveals/dots/tooltips — paste it into the deck's <style> (the starter deck already has it inline).

Three shapes of a deck — say which you mean. The editable deck (multi-file on disk, or one file with the Studio) is what you author. A preview is one self-contained .html that keeps the Studio — open it anywhere, keep tuning. Publishing produces one self-contained .html with the Studio removed and audio baked — the file you share. Same single-file bundle; the only difference is whether authoring stays on.

Step 1 — Scaffold the deck

Start from assets/starter-deck.html (in this skill) — it's a complete, working deck you can open directly: 3 slides, a stepped reveal, tooltips, the rail, and the narration controls. Copy it into the project together with the five companion files from assets/ (deck-stage.js, deck-enhance.js, narration-script.js, deck-narration.js, deck-animation.css) — all in one folder, no subdirectories. The engine resolves <script src> and the deck-stage mount relative to the deck, so a flat layout is required. Then replace the demo <section>s with the real slides.

Two wiring shapes — pick the one that matches where you're building

A. Plain HTML (what starter-deck.html uses; also the shape of a "Save as standalone" export). Mount <deck-stage> directly and load the scripts at the end of <body>, stage first:

<deck-stage width="1920" height="1080">
  <section data-label="Title" data-speaker-notes="…">…</section>
  <section data-label="Agenda" data-speaker-notes="…">…</section>
</deck-stage>

<script src="deck-stage.js"></script>
<script src="deck-enhance.js"></script>
<script src="narration-script.js"></script>
<!-- <script src="narration-audio.js"></script>   ← uncomment once baked -->
<script src="deck-narration.js"></script>
<script src="deck-export.js"></script>

B. Design Component (when building inside a Claude design project, authored with dc_write). The deck is a .dc.html; the project's own runtime hydrates it. Mount the stage with <x-import> and load the other scripts from <helmet> in this order:

<x-dc>
<helmet>
  <style> …your slide CSS + the required animation CSS… </style>
  <script src="deck-enhance.js"></script>
  <script src="narration-script.js"></script>
  <!-- <script src="narration-audio.js"></script>   ← uncomment once baked -->
  <script src="deck-narration.js"></script>
  <script src="deck-export.js"></script>
</helmet>

<x-import component-from-global-scope="deck-stage" from="./deck-stage.js"
          width="1920" height="1080" hint-size="100%,100%">
  <section data-label="Title" data-speaker-notes="…">…</section>
  <section data-label="Agenda" data-speaker-notes="…">…</section>
</x-import>
</x-dc>

(Do not hand-write a .dc.html as a raw file and ship it — a DC needs the project's runtime to hydrate. The portable, openable artifact is always the plain-HTML form.)

Rules that matter either way:

Slides are the direct <section> children of the stage. Author content at the 1920×1080 design size; the stage scales to fit.
Each slide: data-label="…" (rail label) and data-speaker-notes="…" (presenter note, travels with the slide on reorder).
Don't set position/inset on <section> — the stage positions them.
Keep the deck-stage:not(:defined){visibility:hidden} rule to avoid an unstyled flash.
Keep the engine-load watchdog (the inline <script> at the end of starter-deck.html). If the deck is ever opened as a lone file without its companion scripts, it replaces the blank screen with an actionable message instead of a black page. It auto-clears when the engine loads, so it's harmless in every deck — don't strip it.
narration-audio.js is commented out until audio is baked.

Single-file environments (the Claude web app) — deliver a preview, not the kit

The multi-file deck only renders where its companion files are actually served next to it (local disk, a static host, Claude Code). Some runtimes preview a single HTML file without serving its siblings — most notably the Claude web app's artifact preview. There, the multi-file deck loads nothing: <deck-stage> never upgrades and you get a blank (often black) page — exactly what the watchdog now flags.

So when you're building in a single-file-preview environment, don't hand over the multi-file deck. Bundle it into one self-contained file first and hand that over:

While still authoring (you want the Studio for narration), build a preview — node build-standalone.mjs <deck>.html --preview — it inlines everything but keeps the Studio live.
When the deck is final, publish — node build-standalone.mjs <deck>.html — Studio removed, audio baked.

In the Claude web app the files you write do sit together on the code-execution sandbox's filesystem, so build-standalone.mjs runs there directly. (deck-export.js's in-browser deckExport.preview()/.publish() can't run in that preview — it has no http server to fetch siblings from — so prefer the headless bundler here.) See Step 6 for the full bundling reference.

⚠ Narration can't be generated inside the web app preview — but there's a clean path. The artifact preview's Content-Security-Policy blocks the outbound connection to ElevenLabs, so clicking Generate in the in-deck Studio fails there (it detects this and says so). Generation needs a browser whose CSP allows the call. Route the user to the hosted Audio Studio, which is served from a domain whose CSP permits it:

Generate a pre-loaded link: node make-studio-link.mjs narration-script.js. It prints a https://open-deck.org/studio/#… URL with the deck's narration encoded in the #fragment (which never reaches the server). Hand that link to the user.

The user opens it in a normal browser (works on desktop and mobile), pastes their ElevenLabs key + Voice ID, clicks Generate, then Download narration-audio.js. Their key stays in their browser; the deck never leaves yours.

They send narration-audio.js back to you (drop it into the chat). Place it next to the deck and publish.

The in-deck Studio can also self-serve this: its Audio studio → Generate step has a "Generate on the web" link that builds the same hosted-Studio URL. A preflight probe runs when the Studio opens, so in a blocked environment it opens directly in the web path (it also auto-switches if a Generate call is refused). Either way the wizard re-paths its remaining steps to match the hand-off — generate on the web, then bring narration-audio.js back into the chat (a web-app user has no folder to place it in) and ask you to publish — so the on-screen instructions stay correct for that route. So make-studio-link.mjs is for when you want to hand over the link directly; the user can otherwise reach it from the deck.

The hosted Studio also accepts a pasted narration-script.js if the link is ever too long or unavailable (make-studio-link.mjs prints the paste-fallback JSON too). Don't try to generate audio agent-side from the deck's key — the key is meant to never leave the user's browser, and the sandbox's network egress is restricted anyway. (If you'd rather not use the hosted page at all, the fallback still works: have the user open the preview file in their own browser and use its in-deck Studio there.)

Step 2 — Add step animations

Give any element a data-step="N" (N = 1, 2, 3…). It starts hidden and reveals when the viewer reaches step N (→ / click / Space). Advancing past the last step moves to the next slide; ← steps back.

<section data-label="Pillars">
  <h2>Three pillars</h2>
  <div class="tile" data-step="1">First</div>
  <div class="tile" data-step="2">Second</div>
  <div class="tile" data-step="3">Third</div>
</section>

Step dots are auto-injected (bottom-left) on any slide that has steps — no markup needed.
Multiple elements can share the same data-step to reveal together.
The required CSS (deck-animation.css) defines what .step-visible / .step-current / .step-past look like. Without it, data-step elements just stay hidden. Paste it into your <style> and restyle freely (it's plain fade-and-rise by default).
Elements with no data-step are visible on slide entry (and can stagger in via the optional .frame rule in the CSS).

Tooltips

Add data-tip="explanatory text" to any element for a smart hover tooltip (auto-flips above/below). Tooltips on a not-yet-revealed step stay suppressed until that step shows.

Step 3 — Write the narration

Edit narration-script.js. It exposes window.__NARRATION with a slides[] array — one entry per <section>, in order. Each slide's lines[] maps to steps:

lines[0] → spoken when the slide first appears (before any reveal)
lines[1] → spoken at data-step="1", lines[2] at data-step="2", …

window.__NARRATION = {
  voiceId: "",                       // optional: pre-fill the Studio's Voice ID
  modelId: "eleven_multilingual_v2",
  gapSeconds: 0.5,                   // beat between a clip ending and auto-advance
  slides: [
    { lines: ["Welcome. Here is the plan."] },                  // slide 1, no steps
    { lines: ["", "First pillar.", "Second.", "The payoff."] }, // slide 2, 3 steps
    { lines: ["Thank you."] }
  ]
};

Writing guidance (matches how the voice reads best):

One idea per sentence, short sentences.
Spell acronyms with periods so they're read as letters: "A.I.", "U.X.", "G.L.M.".
Respell numbers a TTS misreads: "twenty twenty-six" instead of 2026.
Empty string "" = silent for that step.

These respellings are spoken-only — they belong ONLY in narration-script.js, never in the slide <section> text. Spoken text and on-screen text are separate sources: the engine reads narration-script.js for the voice and never echoes it on screen. So the slide keeps the human-readable form and the narration line carries the pronunciation hint:

Appears on the slide (<section>) Spoken (narration-script.js)

Our HR team "Our H.R. team"

Shipping in 2026 "Shipping in twenty twenty-six"

The AI roadmap "The A.I. roadmap"

If H.R. ever shows up in the slide, the respelling leaked into the markup — fix the <section>, not the narration. (Optional, if you'd rather keep even the narration source clean: ElevenLabs also honors SSML <say-as interpret-as="characters">HR</say-as> and pronunciation dictionaries, but support varies by model — the period-spelling is the simplest reliable default.)

Appears on the slide (`<section>`)	Spoken (`narration-script.js`)
`Our HR team`	`"Our H.R. team"`
`Shipping in 2026`	`"Shipping in twenty twenty-six"`
`The AI roadmap`	`"The A.I. roadmap"`

If the user wants you to draft the script, write it from their instructions, keep their tone, and confirm before they generate (generation costs ElevenLabs credits).

Step 4 — Generate the audio (the user does this, in-browser)

Audio is generated in the browser so the ElevenLabs key never leaves the user's machine and is never baked into a file.

While authoring, the control bar shows a blue Studio button (a different colour from the neutral playback controls, so it reads as a build-time tool). It opens a menu of authoring actions:

Audio studio — a 5-step wizard: ① Connect (API key + Voice ID) → ② Generate (one clip per step, progress bar) → ③ Download (saves narration-audio.js) → ④ Place (move that file next to the deck) → ⑤ Publish (tells the user to ask their AI agent: "Publish this presentation as a standalone file."). The publish step deliberately promotes only the agent path. The wizard branches when the user hands off to the hosted Studio: a preflight reachability probe runs when the Studio opens, so in a blocked environment (e.g. the Claude web app preview) it opens straight into the web path rather than switching mid-run — and the user can also choose it via "Generate on the web" in ②. The web path is a 3-step flow — ① Generate on the web (opens open-deck.org/studio with the narration pre-loaded) → ② Bring it back (attach narration-audio.js into the chat — not place it in a folder, since a web-app user has none) → ③ Publish ("Integrate this narration audio and publish the deck as a standalone file"). A "← Generate in this browser instead" link returns to the 5-step path.
Cue overview — a checklist of every step showing which have narration text and which have audio, to spot gaps before publishing.
Build preview — runs the in-browser bundler to make a single file that keeps the Studio (power-user shortcut for previewing while you author).
Publish standalone — runs the in-browser bundler for the final share-ready file (Studio removed, audio baked).

The Studio button is hidden in the published standalone (via window.__DECK_EXPORTED); a preview keeps it. The console API still works too (deckNarration.studio()), printed on every load.

Narration text is edited only in narration-script.js (the file). There is intentionally no in-browser narration editor — browser edits wouldn't survive into the export, so they'd mislead. Change the wording in narration-script.js, then re-generate.

Tell the user to:

Open the deck, click Studio → Audio studio (or run deckNarration.studio() in the dev console).
① Connect: paste their ElevenLabs API key and Voice ID (ElevenLabs → Voices → the voice → ID), then Next.
② Generate: click Generate narration — one clip per non-empty line, with a progress bar, cached in the browser (IndexedDB). On success the wizard advances. To re-do lines: edit narration-script.js, reopen, tick Re-generate clips that already exist, and Generate.
③ Download: click Download audio to save narration-audio.js.
④ Place: move narration-audio.js into the same folder as the deck.
⑤ Publish: ask the AI agent to "Publish this presentation as a standalone file" (the agent runs the publish build).

Recommend (can't enforce) Chrome or Edge for generation — or serve over http. The clip cache uses IndexedDB, which Chromium allows from file:// but Safari blocks and Firefox treats inconsistently. The ElevenLabs call itself works in any normal browser (CORS returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *); the one exception is a locked-down CSP environment — most notably the Claude web app preview, which refuses the connection (see the web-app note in Step 1). Where the cache is blocked the generated clips live only in memory for that session, so the user must click "Download audio" before reloading or they'll regenerate (and re-pay) — but the download itself works even then (it falls back to the in-memory clips). The Studio detects a blocked cache and shows an inline warning; the deck also prints the tip to the console. This only affects generating — once audio is baked, playback reads the inlined map (no IndexedDB), so a published deck plays offline in every browser, including from a double-clicked file://.

Console API (all available globally once the deck loads):

deckNarration.studio() — open the generation panel
deckNarration.play() / .stop() — start/stop auto-play
deckNarration.narration(true|false) — narration on/off
deckNarration.status() — {clips, narrationOn, autoplay}

Step 5 — Playback model (what the two on-screen controls do)

The deck overlay (bottom bar, alongside Prev/Next/Reset/Fullscreen/Slides) gains two controls:

Narrate — master on/off. When on, every step you land on speaks, whether you click through manually, use arrows, click a tile, or jump via a thumbnail.
Auto-play / Pause — hands-free: reveals a step, plays its clip, and advances when the clip ends. Turning it on implies Narrate on. Pausing keeps Narrate on, so you can keep clicking through and still hear each step.

It is a single-driver model: any step change cancels stale audio and any pending auto-advance, then plays the clip for the step you're actually on — so manual clicks during auto-play never double-advance or desync.

Step 6 — Preview, publish & package

Both a preview (Studio kept) and a publish (Studio removed, audio baked) are the same one-file bundle — they inline every local script, the baked audio, same-origin stylesheets + their url() assets, <img> sources, and the Google fonts into a single self-contained .html. To make narration play on any machine, offline, with no key, bake audio in first:

In the Studio, click Download audio → produces narration-audio.js (all clips as base64 data URLs).
Move that file into the deck's folder (next to deck-stage.js etc.).
Bundle. Three routes follow; Route A is the default because it works wherever the files sit together (including the Claude web app sandbox).

Route A — the headless bundler (`build-standalone.mjs`, recommended)

Run the kit's bundler with your own shell — no browser, no server:

node build-standalone.mjs your-deck.html            # publish → your-deck.standalone.html
node build-standalone.mjs your-deck.html --preview  # preview → your-deck.preview.html (keeps Studio)

It auto-detects the deck (the only .html mounting a <deck-stage>) if you omit the name, activates narration-audio.js when present, embeds the Google fonts over the network (best-effort — keeps the CDN <link> if offline), and neutralizes the engine files' literal </script> for you. Output goes to stdout. Use --out FILE to override the path. This is how you bundle in the Claude web app (the files you wrote share the code-sandbox filesystem) and locally.

No-Node fallback — bundle with file tools by hand. When Node isn't available, do the same inlining manually:

Read the deck .html and inline every local <script src="…"> (the kit scripts + narration-audio.js if present) by replacing each tag with <script>…file contents…</script>. Skip absolute/CDN URLs.
- Publishing? Mark it. Inject <script>window.__DECK_EXPORTED=true;</script> before the (inlined) deck-narration.js. This hides the Studio button, and — when no audio was baked — the Narrate + Auto-play buttons too. For a preview, skip this flag entirely so the Studio stays live.
- Activate baked audio: if narration-audio.js is in the folder, un-comment its <script> line so the inlined copy is live.
- ⚠ Neutralize closing tags: the engine files contain the literal text </script> inside their doc-comments. Before inlining a file, replace </script with <\/script in its contents, or the first one will close the block early and corrupt the file.
Fonts: fetch each woff2 the deck's Google-Fonts <link> references and inline it as a base64 @font-face rule, then remove the <link>/preconnect (renders identically offline). If you can't fetch, leave the CDN <link> (custom fonts then need a connection; otherwise system fallback).
Write the result as your-deck.standalone.html (or .preview.html). Expect it to be large when audio is baked (often several MB).

Route B — self-service in the browser (`deck-export.js`)

For a user who'd rather not involve the agent: load deck-export.js (it's one of the kit files) and run, in the browser dev console:

deckExport.preview()     // downloads your-deck.preview.html — keeps the Studio
deckExport.publish()     // downloads your-deck.standalone.html — final, Studio removed

Same inlining as Route A, entirely in the browser. Because it fetch()es same-origin files, the deck must be served over http(s) — not opened via file://, and not in a single-file preview like the Claude web app (use Route A there). Inside a Claude design project, the project's own "Save as standalone HTML" export is the publish equivalent.

Without baked audio, a publish is a clean silent deck: the Narrate + Auto-play controls are hidden (nothing to play), while all the animation, tooltips, and navigation still work. The clips live only in the browser that made them, so voice returns only if someone regenerates with a key (the deckNarration.studio() console API stays available for that).

Route C — package as a portable `.deck` file

When the user wants to present on a phone/tablet, or asks to "export as a .deck", package the deck for a compatible deck player app. A .deck is a Zip archive with MIME type application/x-deck whose root holds:

my-talk.deck
├── deck.json       # the manifest — see assets/deck.schema.json
├── index.html      # the published file (Route A/B output) — fully self-contained
└── thumbnail.png   # optional preview image shown in the player's library

Two routes, same output:

deckExport.deck()   // browser console: builds the standalone, writes deck.json, downloads my-talk.deck

…or ask the agent to do it with file tools: produce the published HTML exactly as in Route A, write it as index.html, add a deck.json, and zip the two at the archive root as <id>.deck. Either way the result is one portable file.

The deck.json manifest is defined by assets/deck.schema.json (JSON Schema) — read that file for the exact field set, types, patterns, and defaults. In short: only entry ("index.html") is strictly required; id (the filename), title, orientation (landscape for these 1920×1080 decks), and optional author/version round it out. Add "$schema": "./deck.schema.json" to a hand-written deck.json for editor validation.

Optional thumbnail. Drop a thumbnail.png (or .jpg/.webp/.svg) next to the deck before exporting and deckExport.deck() bakes it into the package and records "thumbnail": "thumbnail.png" in deck.json; or pass one explicitly: deckExport.deck({ thumbnail: "data:image/png;base64,…" }). Hand-writing the package? Add the image file at the archive root and point thumbnail at its relative path. Players that support it (e.g. the OpenDeck app) show the image in their library; players that don't simply ignore the field.

Because the deck is the standalone bundle, baked audio plays offline inside the player too — it renders in a real web origin, so all animation, narration, fonts, and tooltips work exactly as in the browser.

Gotchas / notes

CSS is mandatory. If reveals don't show, the animation CSS isn't in the deck's <style>. Copy from deck-animation.css.
Load order & location. The four scripts go inside <helmet> in the given order, and all files must sit in the same folder as the deck (the engine resolves src paths relative to the deck — a subfolder breaks the helmet scripts). For a plain (non-DC) HTML deck, put the scripts at the end of <body> instead, with deck-stage.js first.
Design tokens. The CSS ships with plain values; if the deck has a design system, swap them for its tokens (easing, accent color) so reveals/dots/tooltips match.
Slide count. slides[] in the script should line up with the <section>s; extra/short entries just stay silent — fine while drafting.
Don't rename the globals. deck-enhance.js/deck-narration.js look for window.__NARRATION and window.__NARRATION_AUDIO; keep those names.
Editing safety. deck-enhance.js suppresses nav keys while you're typing in a field/contenteditable, so authoring text won't flip slides.
Hosting & CSP. A deck — and any standalone export — is fully inline: an inline <style> block, an inline <script>, and (on export) the whole engine inlined too. It works on any host that doesn't impose a restrictive Content-Security-Policy, which is the default for static hosting (GitHub Pages, S3, Netlify/Vercel, plain nginx) — so most self-hosting just works. If the host does set a CSP, the deck needs script-src 'unsafe-inline' and style-src 'unsafe-inline' (the engine uses no eval/new Function, so 'unsafe-eval' is not required), plus data:/blob: for embedded fonts, images, and audio. A minimal working policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: blob:; media-src 'self' data: blob:; font-src 'self' data:. On Cloudflare _headers (and Pages-style headers generally), matching rules accumulate rather than override — a strict global CSP plus a relaxed deck CSP emits two headers and the browser enforces the stricter intersection, which silently breaks decks. Scope CSP so exactly one rule matches the deck path.
